Hey. Thanks for the comment mophead..
Hey guys, need some advice if anyone can help.
I got it to turn over and crank today.....but it will only run about 2 seconds. I am
Pretty sure I am good on the fuel system(044) . I ran out of daylight so
I will try to get back on it tomorrow.
Any thoughts to try????

Around here they all "upgraded" to lifted pick-ups with cheesy wheels and a sticker bomb of energy drinks and fox racing. The highest mileage early 2000's truck they can buy, cheapest lift that makes it the tallest, clear or tinted tails, drop in HIDs, tinted windows, accent painted everything, stick on chrome, rebel flags (wtf?).

it runs!!!

Hey , I got it running thanks to the immo. delete from C2!. Just waiting on the Axles from the Drive shaft shop..any day now..and I should be able to drive it ..
I still have issues with the wiring ..well not knowing what is what ...
I thought maybe I would post it on here , maybe someone knows..

From the Cluster : I have a Brown/Yellow wire - I think traction control ..maybe not using ???
Purple/White - I marked it windshield wiper fluid..I don't know where to
tie it in . to make it not show on the Cluster.
Twisted Pair: Orange/Brown and Orange/Green
2 Sets of Twisted Pair: Orange/Black and Orange Brown
Twisted Pair: Green/Black

From the White plug of the Five : Black wire , 2 White/Red wires, and 1 Brown/White wire

From the ECM : 1 Black/White wire

From the Orange Plug of the Five: I have a Blue/White wire( I marked it speed
sensor .. But really don't know ..

And then there is the Test port or OB whatever ...I don't know where to wire it in , but I suspect it goes the the cluster with similiar wire colors.. but there are 2 (which ones?)
Soooo, : Twisted pair Orange/Black and Orange/Brown
2 Brown---suspect grounds
1 White/Red
1 Red/White
1 Black/Blue
and 1 Gray/White
Sorry for the rambling ..just trying to figure it out ..with all that not connected to anything and it runs , I am not sure what I need to leave un-hooked and what I need to wire in ..
but for sure I need the OB port ..
Thanks

Damn, I was thinking the other day about this thread and how little action its had the past months.

Good to hear the Immo defeat worked out, I really, really want to see this thing run.. Any estimates of how heavy this monster is?

Ok .. I didn't take a pic or video.. but I drove it today..and was disappointed.
the rack and pinion doesn't have enough travel. It doesn't turn tight at all
The shifter needs to be relocated. Farther back. Doesn't feel too good.
I have an oil leak on something called a camshaft adjustment valve..it says to replace the o ring
anytime you remove it.. ....stealership says they don't sell it?????
My master cylinder is mounted pretty low so I have no brakes with all the air out of it..all
The fluid just comes back to the reservoir. And then to top it all off I have no reverse.
So here we go .. out the driveway. First gear is good .switch to second. Feels like a big go cart!! Feels light.
go about 1/2 mile to the end of the road.. start pumping the brakes. Finally got it slowed down..thankfully not going fast. Start to make the turn. Just to turn around. And it just isn't sharp enough.. no problem. Put it in reverse .. hmm I don't have it .. jump out of it and push it backwards. So then I putt putted home slowly ..
So I am to say the least aggravated.

Thanks guys.. really. I got a residual valve from a local shop for the brakes...they said it would fix that problem.
I put a new o ring in the oil leak problem.. thanks Josh.
I am shopping for a new rack n pinion. And I will just have to do some work..

I used a billet aluminum rack like a Sandrail uses ..The reasoning behind it was that a few years back I built a sand car and it had no turning issues ..and the bump steer was a non issue. So , now it will be on ebay soon..

Thanks man...
ok I had to order a new rack..got a mustang 2 for little or nothing..
but had to totally redue every thing associated with that. Arms heim joints etc.
This morning I got to move my shifter and brace it like it needs to be.
I need to drive it to see if I still don't have reverse.
The BRAKES.......I put a 2 pound residual valve in the line so the fluid doesn't
Come back to the resivoir.. but for some reason this isn't working..
I have to pump it to have brakes.
Soooooooo maybe try to drive it tomorrow if I can get it done ..
If not it will be Wednesday. I will this time have something to show..
